If Fred cc's an IETF mailing list he's not on because a discussion on  
another list has turned to how the IETF's FUBAR working group messed  
up a spec (and maybe someone else did the first CC, and Fred's just  
doing a reply-all), maybe he'll never see it at all, or only after his  
"contribution" goes through.

That might be an argument for restricting posting to subscribers  
only.  At least some mailing list management software will let you put  
yourself on a list but flagged as not to receive mail, if you already  
read it through some other means (local bulletin board, web archives,  
etc).  Getting onto the list could be the way one indicates that one  
has read the Note Well text, which was sent along with the link to  
click to confirm blah blah blah.

I find subscriber-only-posting lists kind of annoying sometimes, but  
if we do want to impose certain requirements on those who post, maybe  
it's an easy way to do it.
